The Domesday Book confirms that Selly Oak existed in Saxon times. The Roman Roads associated with Metchley Fort and Kings Norton indicate its early significance as a centre of communications. An archaeological excavation of the lime kilns in Goodmans Yard showed the crucial and important role it played during the industrial revolution. It had a preVictorian chemical industry and tannery that developed alongside the construction of the canals.Either side of the Bristol Road were major metal works, enamel and paint industries, cycle and gun trades, and machine tool makers. The area was attractive to Quakers whose philanthropy is shown by the few remaining Victorian buildings, parks, library, and swimming baths. The canals are still busy but now with leisure craft and joggers. The major regeneration programme proposed by Sainsburys will transform both the retail and community provision.

I bought this book for my dad who loves history, and he can't put it down! The pictures are stunning, and the detail about Oak and Bournbrook is just fascinating. Such a great gift for anyone interested in local history.

Great for Local History Buffs
This book offers a unique perspective on Oak and Bournbrook, packed with lots of information. I found some sections a bit dry, but the photos and maps really bring the history to life. Worth a read if you're into this stuff!

Interesting but Lacking Depth
I was excited to read this as I love local history, but I expected more in-depth analysis. It covers the timeline well, but it feels a bit surface-level in certain areas. Still, it's a nice addition to my collection.

Beautiful Presentation, But Not Enough Information
The book looks great on my coffee table, and the photos are beautiful, but honestly, I was hoping for more content. Some sections felt rushed, and I wish it had more stories. It’s okay for casual readers, I guess.

Excellent Visuals, Lacked Narrative Flow
Really enjoyed flipping through this book, the visuals are stunning. However, I found the narrative a bit disjointed at times. It’s a nice coffee table book, but I was looking for a more cohesive story.
